Note: We want to focus our efforts on providing the best customer experience, and after a thorough evaluation of our beta period, the feature Password Changer will no longer be available in mid-September, 2022. For more information please check our FAQ about Password Changer.
Whenever you need to update any compromised or weak passwords, you can use our Password Generator, and by doing so, you'll keep your passwords as strong as possible and stored within your Dashlane account.
Changing your passwords is a great way to keep your accounts secure. You can change some of your passwords in a single step with the Change Passwords tool. For any passwords that Dashlane can’t change in one step, we provide a link to those websites, where you can change the passwords.
Our beta Password Changer is available on iOS, Android, and our web app. Password Changer won't be available within Firefox. This overhaul is a foundational first step to making it easier to update your passwords whenever you need to.

What's new?
Improved security and reliability
The beta Password Changer works locally. In the past, the tool required a connection with Dashlane's servers to change passwords. But now, Password Changer works directly between your device and the corresponding websites. The tool isn't only more effective but also more secure.
Improved feedback
One of the limitations of our legacy Password Changer was the lack of feedback from websites on why the change failed. Failures might be caused by a lack of network connection, incorrect information saved in Dashlane, or Password Changer getting blocked at some point in the process. Now, with the addition of contextual error messages, in the rare event that Password Changer can't get the job done, you'll know why.
Support for 2FA and Captcha
Sometimes changing a password requires adding a 2FA code or validating you're a human with a Captcha. Password Changer now can handle these cases and asks you directly in the app for your input.
